The dung beetle survives mainly or solely by eating the faces of other animals

糞金龜主要或是只以吃其他動物的臉（face）維生

thats terrifying...wait thats a typo-

真是太可怕了...慢著,原來是打錯了

it eats the FECES of other animals...ugh that's even worse

糞金龜是以吃其他動物的便便（Feces）維生,噁爆了這樣比剛才還要糟

The rolling dung beetle finds dung with its acute sense of smell

這些滾來滾去的糞金龜以牠們敏銳的嗅覺找尋糞便

The dung beetle then selects a choice piece to roll into a ball- oh that's disgusting- cut it cut the clip

然後糞金龜就會把他們選中的糞便滾成一顆球-喔噁心死了快點把影片咔掉

I told you I wont, I'm not going to narrate the footage of poop

我就跟你說了我不要,我才不想當有便便的片段的旁白

It's just not going to happen- this isn't better this has nothing to do with the dung beetle

休想我會妥協-這樣也沒有比較好,這跟糞金龜一點關係都沒有啊

Fine.

好吧

The female dung beetles then judge their potential mates by the size of their balls

接著雌性糞金龜就會依據糞球的大小,選擇她們交配的對象

Oh come on that's a linx- wait why is he stalking that santa baby? Run away santa baby!

喔拜託那是隻山貓耶-還有為什麼牠在追那個穿著聖誕裝的寶寶？快逃啊聖誕寶寶！

After a mating pair is established, the female often attaches herself to the dung-ball chariot

一旦確定了交配對象,通常雌性糞金龜就會粘著她們的糞球推車不放

and the male rolls them away from the dung pile

雄性則會把他們從糞堆中滾離

He does this backwards by pushing on the ball with his hind legs

他會用他的後腿倒著推

Imagine getting into a car and putting your head facedown on the seat and steering with your butt

想像一下你倒立著坐進車裡,臉朝下方,面向椅子,然後用屁股操縱方向盤

That is how the dung beetle do

糞金龜就是這麼做的

Needless to say they get lost from time to time

想也知道他們常常迷路

When it strays off course the dung beetle climbs on top of its ball

當他們迷路時,糞金龜會爬到糞球的頂端

and uses the position of the sun, the moon, and even the milky way to reorient itself

然後利用太陽,月亮,甚至銀河來讓他們重新定位自己的位置

Sort of like how ancient sailors once did, except without the giant ball of shi-

有點像古時候水手們作的那樣,只不過水手們用的不是巨大的大ㄅ一ㄢ-

Here a scientist uses a mirror to confuse the hell out of a dung beetle

現在大家看到的是一個科學家在用鏡子擾亂糞金龜的方向

Along the way he must face challengers who seek to claim his turd-ball

在旅途中,糞金龜必須面對其他企圖奪取糞球的挑戰者

the ensuing battle sometimes lasting for hours

隨之而來的大戰常常會持續數個小時

When they have finally completed their journey the young freaky couple digs a small hole in the soft sand

當旅程到了終點,這對怪異的年輕情侶就會在軟沙中挖個小洞

The female then lays her eggs inside the dung-ball and then seals them up

雌糞金龜就會在糞球裡產卵,接著用更多的糞便

Using more dung, her saliva, and her own feces

她的口水,還有她自己的糞便把球密合起來

Just for good measure (laughing)

確保萬無一失嘛（笑）

and then when the baby is born, it eats its way out

而當小寶寶孵化出來後,牠們就會''吃出一條生路''

Oh haha jeeze the circle of life

喔哈哈天哪這就是生命的循環

Just remember, no matter how bad your job is

別忘了,無論你的工作有多糟

even if you shovel crap for a living

就算你是挖糞維生的

atleast you're not doing it naked, and with your mouth, and then eating it.

至少你挖糞時不是裸體,也不是用嘴巴,也不用吃它
